Must See Video: At what point is oil a short?

Dear Subscribers,

Phil Erlanger, the editor of the Erlanger Squeeze Play is regularly featured as a guest analyst here at the Gold and Energy Advisor with his “The Week Ahead” feature.

As good as that once a week report is the REAL golden nugget Phil offers investors, professional traders, and in fact some of the world’s top hedge funds and managers, is his short and long interest analysis.

By simply measuring how many shorts and long positions exist and drawing some historic comparisons on price using technical analysis, you can increase the chances of making successful and profitable investments and trades in both the short and long term.  I’ve been using what he calls “Erlanger’s Squeeze play” approach for years with tremendous success.

This morning Phil did a short but very powerful video on the price of oil. Is it over extended? How high will it go? What level would a correction take oil too? It occurred to me that this video supports my “$200 Oil Must Be Shorted” thesis. Of course I’m not zeroing in on $200. The level could be $150, $160 even $210.

The point is, using short and long interest, as Phil so adeptly explains in this video, it’s easier to understand the profit opportunity that’s coming in the oil market.

First, take a few minutes and watch Phil’s video then take a read on why now is the best possible time to sign up for my Gold and Energy Options Trader .

Best Wishes,

P.S. Several months ago I personally bought shares in a start up alternative energy company Mantra Venture Capital Group (MVTG.OB). I NEVER recommend the company to anyone and it was not recommended in Gold and Energy Advisor. Even though I dipped my big toe in personally, I was leery.

I’ve been looking over the company and its activities for a few months and have gotten to know the firm’s Chief Executive Officer Larry Kristof, and I have come to the conclusion that he and the company have no chance of success. None, Zip, Nada!

As a result I am selling the 100,000 shares I had purchased and taking a loss. The way I see it, the loss I take now isn’t any where near as bad as the losses investors will wind up taking with this company later down the road.

I believe this company will end with a SEC investigation, lawsuits and quite possibly criminal prosecution(s). If you’re sitting on any shares I strongly recommend getting out of dodge before it’s too late. I wish I could short this stock but I just don’t think it’s possible. It’s worth keeping an eye on this stock for a short opportunity because Larry Kristof is without a doubt consummate promoter.

If by some miracle he can get this stock up to $1 or even $2 it may become possible to short it. In that case, it would be the perfect short. My gut however is -- this garbage stock is trading for .18 to .25 cents and is heading to zero.

By the way the last company I felt this way about Uranium Hunter, which went from about a $1 a share to about .12 cents a share after my sell recommendation. More on penny stocks to avoid and short in up coming issues, in the meantime keep my warning in mind. This is not the market for most penny stocks. There are too many great profit opportunities in NYSE, NASDAQ and AMEX listed equities.
